		hsbauauvhabzb on Oct 20, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu Do they stroll restrict nonfree audio/video codecs? I would use fedora, but I want my repository set limited to trusted sources only. Core repositories are RedHat endorsed, afaict the user managed ones are not. I want the ability to say that packages are from maintainers that are well trusted in a court of law. I cannot do that with fedora due to this, Ubuntu seems to be my only solution and it’s rapidly becoming unusable (I don’t hate snap, but it’s broken my workflow).

Yes they do. If you don't like to use RPMfusion you could use something like the mpv flatpak from flathub that has all codecs bundled.
